Step 4: Calibrate Body Temperature (Initial)
If your VitalPatch biosensor supports body temperature (requires
VitalPatch firmware release 3.2.0.0 or later), a Temperature
Calibration screen will appear, and you will be prompted to
calibrate the body temperature. If the Temperature Calibration
screen does not appear, the VistaPoint dashboard will be
displayed after you perform the posture calibration.
a. Use a clinical-grade thermometer to take a body
temperature reading.
b. Select the units:
Celsius
or
Fahrenheit
.
c. Enter the temperature and select
Calibrate
.
If you plan to calibrate the body temperature at a later time, select
Not Now
. The Body Temperature display will not show a value; select
the
Calibrate
button when calibration can be performed.
The VistaPoint dashboard will be displayed after performing (or
skipping) the temperature calibration.
Step 5: Recalibrate Body Temperature (Scheduled)
To ensure accuracy of the body temperature measurement and to accommodate natural variation in body
temperature due to circadian rhythms, VitalConnect recommends the following schedule for recalibrating
body temperature:
a. Recalibrate body temperature at least 30 minutes after applying the VitalPatch biosensor.
b. Recalibrate body temperature each day between the hours of 09:00 and 21:00.
To perform a body temperature recalibration, select the
Body Temp Settings
from the
VitalPatch Menu
.
Follow the calibration instructions in
Step 4
above.
